GREEN BAY, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Schneider, one of the nation’s largest truckload carriers, is
immediately hiring 100 professional truck drivers in the
Birmingham-McCalla-Bessemer, Ala., area and its surrounding suburbs to
meet a wide variety of growing business needs. Many of the positions are
within the company’s Dedicated division, with additional opportunities
available across other divisions in Schneider’s fleet.

Schneider Dedicated
account truck drivers deliver freight for one customer, which means
consistent weekly home time, freight, miles and paychecks. These
positions deliver freight from distribution centers in the greater
Birmingham area and provide annual earnings up to $64,000 per year, with
a sign-on bonus of up to $5,000.

“What’s great about being on a Dedicated account is that you develop a
good rapport with your shippers and receivers,” said Steve Creighton, a
Schneider driver of 27 years. “You really start to cultivate a
friendship, and to me, that means a lot.”

In addition to Dedicated positions, Schneider has openings across its Regional,
Tanker,
Team
Expedited and Long-Haul
divisions. Most positions offer weekly time at home options and annual
earnings up to $70,000. In addition, sign-on bonuses of up to $7,500 are
available.

Schneider is also leasing owner-operators across Alabama. Owner-operators
may choose from percentage or mileage lease options and may be eligible
for up to a $5,000 lease-on incentive.

“Customer demand in the Birmingham area is incredibly strong across many
of our divisions,” said Rob Reich, Schneider’s senior vice president.
“Unlike traditional trucking jobs, Schneider has a driving career to fit
any lifestyle, with over 75 percent of our drivers getting home weekly
or better. Today’s drivers are looking for work-life balance, different
career options and great take-home pay. On all those fronts, Schneider
delivers.”

One of the largest truckload carriers in North America, Schneider has
been the top choice of safety-minded drivers for nearly 80 years. With
over 75 percent of its drivers getting home weekly or better, Schneider
provides professional opportunities that meet the work-life balance
needs of today’s drivers and owner-operators.

Schneider is a $3.6 billion company and is ranked a top-paying carrier
by the National Transportation Institute while being nationally
recognized for its support of current and former military personnel. For
